At the park, Jo found the 钱包 quickly. "Wanna swing?" Jo asked Michael. Michael was looking behind her."Who's that lady?" He asked. Jo turned around and saw an old lady with cards. "Hello." Jo said. "Hello." The old lady 说 and shuffled her cards. "What are 你 doing here?" Jo asked. "I have no home. But the real 问题 is
what are 你 doing here?" She asked and handed Jo and Michael a card. Michael's card had a red head girl. Jo's card had a black dude with a afro in a 橙子, 橙色 tux. "We gotta go. See ya later." Michael said.

They went back to their street. "You're so lucky to be a singer. I'm just a loser girl that has talent but hides it." Jo said. "No, you're lucky. 你 problay have a father who loves you, 你 problay got 老友记 and no 粉丝 screaming
around you." Michael said. A tear came out of Jo's eye. "My dad's dead." She whispered. "What's your name?" Michael asked. "Jo Walters." Jo said. "See 你 around." Jo 说 and walked away but keep smiling at him. He keep waving.


When Michael got back, he tippy toed to his bedroom and put his shoes of and went to bed. When Jo got home, her mom was nowhere to be found. Jo took one step and she felt someone slapping her. "Oh my goodness!" Jo yelled and covered her face. "IT'S 11! WHERE THE HECK HAVE 你 BEEN?!" Jo heard her mom's voice. Jo didn't say anything. Her mom slapped her again and this time, Jo fell on the floor. "Have 你 been out with some dude?" Mom asked. "No." Jo lied weakly. "I don't want 你 out with strangers, young lady! Remeber how me and your dad met?!" Her mom yelled.

Her mom sneaked out to a club when she was 18, and met her dad there. When it was about 3:00, Jo's dad took her mom to his house. Mom never went back home. Her dad forced her to stay.
"Mom, your 钱包 was hard to find. Nothing else happened. Plus it's dark." Jo lied. "I'll let 你 go." Her mom 说 and pointed to her bedroom.Jo got up and went to her bedroom and got into a night gown. Washed her face then went to bed.


下一个 morning.
Michael sat on his 床, 床上 thinking about Jo. "Why do I think of her SO much?" He asked himself. Janet came in.
"Maybe 你 like her." She said. "Were 你 easedropping?" Michael asked. "Yes, yes I was." Janet said. "Who's Jo?"

"She's a girl I met last night." Michael said. "Does she live around here?" Janet asked. "I don't know." Michael said.
He looked at the card that old lady gave her. It looked like Jo.

At school, Jo was talking to Rachlle at her locker. "So how was yesterday?" Rachlle asked. "It was amazing. Guess who I got to met." Jo said. "Diana Ross?" Rachlle guessed. "Swear to god 你 won't tell anyone." Jo said."It is Diana Ross?" Rachlle asked. "No." Jo said. Jo leaned to Rachlle's ear. "Michael Jackson." Jo whispered. Rachlle screamed. "Sorry." Rachlle whispered. "So tell me all the details. Are 你 in love? Just friends? Did 你 give him my number?" Rachlle said. "No, he just help me 搜索 for my moms purse. But we had a great talk." Jo said. Rachlle groaned. "What?!" Jo said. "A great talk? Plus what was he doing helping YOU?" Rachlle asked. The bell
ringed. "Tell 你 at lunch." Jo 说 and left for class.

Part 3 coming (maybe) tomorrow.
